Temporary Registration Plates

The Falmouth Police Department has chosen to exercise its enforcement discretion and will not cite motorists for violating the expiration of a 14-day Temporary Registration Plate until further notice. Although the Falmouth Police Department cannot dictate the actions of other law enforcement agencies, Chief John Kilbride has provided residents with a letter to serve as documentation that despite best efforts, you have been unable to register your new vehicle with the Town of Falmouth, beginning on Thursday, March 12, 2020. We hope that this letter provides adequate proof that the operator of a vehicle displaying an expired temporary registration has made attempts to register the vehicle unsuccessfully and therefore, leniency should be granted.
